The National Vice Chairman, North-West of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Salihu Lukman, has cautioned Senator Abdullahi Adamu against towing the path that consumed the Adams Oshiomhole national leadership of the party.
In a letter dated May 27 addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, the leadership of the National Assembly and others, Lukman accused the national chairman of taking decision on critical party matters alone.
He said the inability of the past leadership of the party to carry the National Working Committee (NWC) members along was responsible for their downfalls.
He said, “The big challenge is ensuring that decisions taken are faithfully implemented. Inability of previous leadership under His Excellency, Adams Oshiomhole and His Excellency, Mai Mala Buni, to implement decisions taken was partly responsible for the leadership crisis that confronted the party.
“Under your leadership, the current NWC is gradually snowballing into similar circumstances whereby decisions taken are allowed to lay bare and, in some instances, changed without necessarily taking needed steps to carry members along.
“No doubt, given all the challenges inherited and coming at a time when it’s extremely difficult to control events and almost everything would appear to have been set against the party and its leadership, we need to take every measure to avoid past pitfalls.
“Perhaps, it is important to acknowledge that, as National Chairman, you have raised the expectations of many of us in the NWC, and by extension many party leaders. For instance, the whole idea of setting up a transition committee, which took stock of what we have inherited, was your singular initiative.”
